When the Band Plays (In 3​/​4 Time)

from The Shay & Shay Radio Hour by Aaron J. Shay & Sarah Shay

/

about

Inspired by the unique sensation of not having waltzed in a very long time.

lyrics

You left for Boston on the 3:40 train
On a day when the sun shone right through the rain
I kept on waving 'til you were long gone
And as the days rolled on, I sang you this song

I miss you when the band plays in three-quarter time
I miss you when the rain falls heavy and fine
I miss you when the fiddle is lonesome and high
I miss you when the band plays in three-quarter time

In summer when the sun shines as bright as your smile
In autumn when the trees are bare
In winter when everything's cold and alone
In spring's when I'll miss you, and sing you this song

I miss you when the band plays in three-quarter time
I miss you with the ins and outs of the tide
I miss you when the leaves they all wither and die
I miss you when the band plays in three-quarter time
